Thanks for the idea but I've tried it and it doesn't work, the lines in
/etc/fstab are as follows, ext2 works but vfat doesn't (neither does msdos if I
substitute it for vfat)
<snip>
/dev/hdd /mnt/LS ext2 user,noexec,nodev,nosuid,rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/LS vfat user,noexec,nodev,nosuid,rw,noauto 0 0
any further suggestions would be gratefully received
